Five Beer Articles You Need To Read And Why, 4/16/16

I awoke this morning thinking today was any day other than Saturday. Mostly, I just wake up, make a spot of tea, write the Five Articles and go to work. Saturday’s are broken up because I watch soccer while I work on the Five Articles. On to today’s five.

Olde Mecklenburg Brewery is going to Germany. It would be interesting to get a good critical take on their German style beer from actual German brewers. To my pallet, their beers are high-quality interpretations of German style beers.

Any article that lists the brown ale as an overlooked beer style is good in my book. Also, Belgian-style beers are some of the best beers to pair with almost any food. I want to focus more of my reviews on food pairing recommendations. Making beer and food pairing a more prominent part of the craft beer discussion is another important step in pushing craft beer onto the same plane as wine. The breadth of beer pairing possibilities is awesome. Some beer fits with burgers, pizza and wings and some beer works with high-end culinary experiences.
